NIH Clinical Center looking for adults ages 18-65 with an EGID

Doctors at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases are conducting a study to improve understanding of how immune system responds to food allergens and how immune cells contribute to disease in individuals with food allergies and eosinophil-associated gastrointestinal disorders (EGIDs). The study is open to individuals 18 to 65 years old with EGID. There’s no cost for study-related procedures and compensation may be provided.
